If you, like us, were wondering how Priyanka Chopra\u2019s makeup looks so picture-perfect\u2014almost indistinguishable from her own skin\u2014her makeup artist, Morgane Martini, has shared the secret. Martini, who created Chopra\u2019s look for tonight\u2019s 98th Annual Academy Awards, didn\u2019t jump straight to makeup. Instead, she took her time with skin prep ahead of glam, using products from the buzzy South Korean skin-care brand Dr. Althea.<\/p>\n
\u201cGlowing, luminous skin is always the goal on the red carpet because when the complexion looks healthy and balanced, makeup naturally looks more refined on camera,\u201d Martini said of the look in a statement to the press. \u201cFor Priyanka\u2019s Oscars look tonight, I focused on a skin-care ritual that calms the skin, boosts hydration and creates a beautifully smooth base so the makeup melts into the skin rather than sitting on top of it.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cI started with the Stretchfit Calming Pads ($24) on targeted areas to gently soothe, cool and rebalance the skin while refining texture,\u201d she continued. \u201cIt\u2019s the perfect first step for creating that smooth canvas I rely on before foundation.\u201d (Editors\u2019 note: That\u2019s due to ingredients such as centella asiatica, panthenol and zinc PCA in the formula, which help calm redness, hydrate the skin and smooth texture so makeup applies more evenly.) <\/em>\u201cThen I layered the ABC Glow Whipped Serum ($20) which delivers a fantastic glow and great hydration, giving the skin a natural luminosity that really comes alive under red carpet lighting,\u201d Martini continued.<\/p>\n Next, she reached for a barrier-sealing moisturizer to \u201clock everything in.\u201d Martini specifically applied Martini specifically applied \u201cthe 345 Relief Cream ($27) to prevent redness and deeply moisturize the skin so the complexion stays fresh and plump throughout a long evening of cameras and lights. For the under-eyes, I used the Retinol Flat Iron Eye Roller ($23) to smooth and energize the area. It helps depuff and refine the texture so concealer applies beautifully and stays crease-free.\u201d<\/p>\n She didn\u2019t forget SPF, which is essential anytime skin is exposed to UV\u2014even during a brief step-and-repeat moment. <\/strong>\u201cI finished with the Aqua Glowing Sunscreen ($20) which protects the skin while leaving a subtle radiance that enhances that lit-from-within glow,\u201d said Martini. \u201cWhen the skin is this well prepared, the makeup becomes more about enhancing the natural complexion rather than covering it.\u201d<\/p>\n And last but not least: a refresh for later in the evening. \u201cAnd because red carpet events are long, I always keep the 345 Relief Cream Mist ($20) on hand for touch-ups, a quick spritz instantly revives hydration and brings the glow back to the skin without disturbing the makeup.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n
